Protect Little Feet.

Now that summer is here, we again! see the children going about in ankleties, sandals and bare feet. Certainly the little boys and girls look very charming as to feet under these circumstances. v But those of us who are thinking about what is reaily most healthful for them cannot take) pleasure in the pretty sight of a smallgirl in 60cks and ankle-ties, a little boy in socks and sandals, and the youngest toddlers with their pink feet bare. * „■ It is so Important that the arch of a child’s foot should be supported properly. Realizing this, let us get for the children neither sandals nor ankle-ttes, but low shoes. Equally important is it that the small and tender feet be protected from the rusty nails, bits of glass and other small, sharp things to be round the ground even in the best neighborhoods. Remembering tbu, let ,-jjp never allow the children to go barefooted. —Home Progress.
